At this year’s Mercedes-Benz Fash­ion Week at the V&A Wa­ter­front, you’ll get a glimpse of why David Tlale reigns supreme in Africa – and why he’s in­vited yearly to New York Fash­ion Week to show­case his pieces.

Tlale is full of sur­prises. For in­stance, he brought celebrity model Tyson Beck­ford out to host his show in New York last year.

We know he’s show­cas­ing a bridal range this year, but be­yond that, it’s all up in the air. Es­tab­lished icons like Marianne Fassler will be joined by hot up-and­com­ers Goose Homme Pror­sum and An­tónio Macheve Jr’s Xip­ixi.

Book your tick­ets and get dressed to the nines. Af­ter all, Fash­ion Week is all about be­ing seen, dahling. – Re­abetswe Mashigo
